Saw some things Wednesday night that I haven't seen before at the McCarthey Athletic Center, or any arena, for that matter. Score with 8:35 left in the first half: GU 29, Saint Joseph's 5. Score at halftime: GU 48, Saint Joseph's 10. Score early in…

Conflicting duties mean we won't be able to bring you a practice report tonight. The Cougars practiced for about two hours in their indoor practice bubble, as they have all week, to prepare for Saturday's game at Arizona State.
A GRIP ON SPORTS What time is the right time to start a college football game? Is it 11 in the morning? Or 1:30 in the afternoon? How about 7:30 at night? Read on.
The WSU women's basketball team is receiving votes in the AP poll after blowouts of No. 22 Dayton and Idaho State. Win tonight against No. 16 Nebraska and the Cougars will surely be ranked themselves. The game tips off at 8 p.m. in Beasley Coliseum.…
One of Spokane’s first high school athletes to gain national prominence was Ray Flaherty. A multi-sport star at Gonzaga High, he was a member of the school’s first football teams. Briefly, one of his teammates there was a young man by the name of Bing…
Washington State took to its indoor practice bubble, a clime much closer to what it will see this weekend in sunny Tempe. We reporters are allowed to watch the first 15 minutes or so of practice (we typically stay a little longer) but the practice…

Washington State's game notes for this weekend's game at Arizona State were released today, along with an updated depth chart. It looks like Pat Porter will start at field cornerback and Charleston White will slide over to the boundary cornerback spot in place of Daquawn…
When the clock ticked to under a minute remaining in the game, Idaho point guards Mike Scott and Perrion Callandret each buried 3-point shots to propel the Vandals to a Monday night 82-77 win over the visiting South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Callandret's 3-point make was…
DVR’d Gonzaga-SMU and by the time the preceding game concluded and the cameras came on inside the MAC there was just 6:50 remaining in the first half. (I gather from my twitter timeline that GU nation wasn't pleased with this development.) Anyway, the Zags already…
A GRIP ON SPORTS It's not easy putting a team together from what basically is scratch. Taking less than a handful of returning players and using them as the base, mixing in new faces in the starting lineup and off the bench. It's not the…
After last night's basketball game Ernie Kent called Washington State's opening stretch the toughest he's ever dealt with, and it's hard to doubt him after watching the second of two lopsided losses to begin the season. We have a story from the 81-54 loss to…
Closing down here at the MAC after the Bulldogs' 72-56 late-night rout of SMU on Monday. Kevin Pangos led the way with 17 points, but the stat sheet will show that Gonzaga got contributions from its starting five and top four reserves. My unedited game…

Washington State didn't get on the scoreboard until TCU had scored 14 points and it never got better for the Cougars. The game was a debacle and a strong indicator that the Cougars are in for another long season. Losing to a solid UTEP team…
Kache Palacio's weekly improvement culminated in a dominant performance in WSU's 39-32 win over OSU. All three of his tackles were for a loss, including a pair of sacks, pushing the Beavers back a total of 21 yards in WSU's 39-32 win. Mike Leach said…
Washington State's basketball game at TCU tonight just got a little easier for fans in the Northwest to watch because ROOT Sports just picked up the 5 p.m. broadcast. Previously the game was only scheduled to be televised on Fox Sports Southwest Plus. Ernie Kent…

A GRIP ON SPORTS When the news broke last week Brandon Mebane was out for the season with a torn hamstring, I put away my hopes for a Seahawks' Super Bowl repeat. They were stashed in a back drawer along with my dusty Dodger World…
Washington State's second bye week is over and so another game week begins. The Cougars will hold their weekly press conference this afternoon and we will have coverage from that. Until then, we have links after the jump. …
The Cougars practiced early yesterday watched the team they just beat (OSU) knock off the team they play next (ASU). They took the field on Sunday night for a short, late practice to begin preparing to replicate OSU's success and send the Sun Devils on…
Gonzaga has only two games against teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 and the first matchup comes Monday night against No. 22 SMU at the MAC. Arizona (Dec. 6, in Tucson) is the other ranked foe on GU's schedule. UCLA, Memphis, BYU and Saint…
A GRIP ON SPORTS Want to know what the dumbest statement in all of sports is right now? "If they win out." Using the term in relationship to college football is just plain silly. Nobody "wins out" anymore. Well, except maybe one team. Read on.
